Stefano Azzolini is a pragmatic technical lead and product-minded engineer with 13 years of experience building high-performance web services, SaaS architectures and full‑stack solutions across startups and scaleups. He combines hands-on expertise in backend-for-frontend patterns, React and microfrontends with proven leadership—having served as CTO, Director of Engineering and Competence Lead at companies like Caffeina, Jobtome and Klarna. Stefano excels at shaping engineering culture, mentoring teams, and translating business needs into reliable cloud-native platforms and DevOps practices. An active open-source maintainer and creator (GitHub: @lastguest), he prefers principled adoption of modern frontend trends rather than following fashions. Based in Stockholm, he brings both strategic vision and deep implementation experience, with a particular knack for revamping legacy stacks into maintainable, scalable systems.
